Another low for The Walking Dead. I bet the people who blamed the Oscars for the decline last week are feeling embarrassed. The show is shedding viewers because it’s directionless and frankly boring. After the War is done, no doubt Team Rick will face another bad group which they have to kill. There’s only so many times you can repeat the same formula before your audience abandons ship.

There’s no plot either. People are just watching people randomly argue, kill each other, and if they’re very lucky, kill some zombies. AMC shouldn’t have dragged out this Negan stuff so long. But if they can course correct and up the pacing, maybe it won’t drop below a 2 next season.

I never read past the first issue of the comic series, but some time back, I read a post by someone who had that after Negan, everything changes for the characters, but I do not know what that means, if anything, as he provided no specifics.

You are right about the constant fighting against one group after another. They never have the characters learn from past mistakes. I also find that unrealistic after a time, as I am not sure that so many people would actually disintegrate into animals of whatever kind like that in a zombie apocalypse unless Trump were president for life at the time.

By the way, you can’t have these characters fighting zombies all the time either. We’d be complaining about that too. I suppose man is his own worst enemy.

The Arrangement is a far superior show to The Royals in every sense of the word. I’m shocked it’s ratings were basically the same, probably hurt by American Idol. I’m so glad Timeless held at 0.8 !!! I would’ve been totally fine with 0.7 considering the 14 month hiatus. It has a truly passionate fan base!

Meet the Peetes hit its lowest rating yet on Sunday 3/11. I can’t wait until the plug is pulled on this reality show nightmare. Hallmark should stick to what they do best – movies and series like When Calls the Heart. Personally, I find nothing appealing about rich pseudo-celebrities talking about their life. Thank God it’s almost over. PLEASE don’t renew.
